Primordial black holes captured by neutron stars: Relativistic point-mass treatment

TW Baumgarte, SL Shapiro - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
Primordial black holes (PBHs), if they exist, may collide with and be captured by neutron
stars. We adopt a relativistic point-mass approximation to study this capture, the subsequent …
